Fash Forward

The future innovators of fashion got to strut their designs down the runway at Lincoln Center as Elle magazine and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago presented the 2013 Fashion Next show during New York Fashion Week. A select group of students had the chance to show off their creations to a panel of fashion’s elite designers and editors, including judges like Elle’s Joe Zee, and designers Charlotte Ronson and Timo Weiland. We asked the pros about their first Fashion Week and their advice for aspiring designers. Photography: Courtesy Images
